Bummer:( I think I might just send them off to a professional. Thanks for your time man, Eli

Hi, I'm looking to put all my grand parents' vintage (50's-70's) slides into digital form via computer. The slides seem to be somewhere between 1 7/8" and 2". My question to you guys is...What is a half way decent scanner for converting these into digital images? Basically I want to pay...

Hey guys...quick question here... Just got my dad a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium, and he has decided he wants Windows 7 Ultimate instead. Instead of opting for the Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade...I thought I would just get an actual oem copy of windows 7 Ultimate for a bit more so...

Now I'm trying to figure out how to take a whole folder structure (genre, artist, album) of 100+ CD's of flac and convert them to to an identical folder structure of VBR MP3's using EAC?...Rather than reinserting the CD's a second time for ripping the MP3's. After reading that guide you linked...

Good point:) Right on man, I really appreciate your help:) Eli

I'm sorry...I didn't word that properly. I'm creating two seperate collections (one for my portable player, and one to store on my HDD) I'm ripping CD's (WAV) to flac to archive on my HDD, and then ripping those same CD's over again to 320 bit rate MP3. So two seperate conversions directly...

Yeah, I'm using 320 bit rate MP3's to put on my Sansa Clip 8GB....then I'm also converting them to flac to archive them. As to whether I am converting them CBR or VBR....I couldn't seem to find anything regarding these in the compression options? Thanks, Eli

I got it figured out guys:) Thanks, Eli

Hey guys - quick question here. I don't know if anyone of you are familiar with EAC (Exact Audio Copy) ??? Anyhow, I'm using EAC w/ LAME Encoder to rip my cd collection. Everthing is working just fine except for one thing...I have it set to rip at a 320 bit rate, but instead of...

right on...I just wish there were more reviews on the av123 speakers:( The little bit I have heard about them is usually positive...and I know I'd have a hard time finding a decent set of tower speakers for $300...even used:) I just might have to get them! Thanks, Eli

cool:) Yeah, I was browsing this page: http://www.av123.com//index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=51&Itemid=37 And noticed that there are two different ELT525 towers, the only difference seems to be the veneer, but they are charging $500 more for the rosewood...

Does anyone have any experience with the X series speakers from AV123? I'm looking for a set of floorstanding speakers, and they are selling the X-sls Encore as well as the ELT525T Towers for under $300 a set? I couldn't find many customer reviews on the speakers, but from the commercial...

I'm going back and forth between a power supply and video card, or this: http://www.gameonelectronics.com/Playstation3-40GB_p_5.html

yeah, I was eyeing this corsair 400 watt for $50 at newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139008

This is going to cost more than I expected. Think I could get by with a power supply like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148027

yeah, i just checked the power supply and its a "Bestec 300 watter". I have an antec true power 430 on my old computer....think that'll be enough?

I've been out of the hardware scene for a long time, but now that I know I can run a pci e 2.0 in my computer, I'm looking for something a little better. What kind of card do you guys think i can run in this system without getting too much of a bottleneck? I'd like to play call of duty 4...

how much slower would a pci express 2.0 16x card like the hd4898 run in a pci express 16x slot? would there be much of a bottleneck?

A few years ago my family ordered a dell inspiron 530 with a Core 2 duo E4500 4gigs ram, foxconn G33mo2 motherboard. I'm looking to outfit it with the best graphics card possible, but the motherboard only supports pci express 16x, instead of pci express 2.0 16x. The best pci express 16x card...

Hey, we recently got a new Dell Inspiron 530, and to my suprise, it didn't have a standard printer port on the back. I ran to the store and baught a printer port to usb adapter. I got everything hooked up and installed the printer drivers, but the computer doesn't seem to be recognizing it...

Hey, I have no idea what category to post this in, so forgive me if its irrelevent. I was wondering what you guys do to track non users on myspace? Thanks

only buy it if it has its own power supply

sounds about right:) Anyone know of any sweet deals on a 360 before I got out to walmart? Thanks

the xbox 360 is that good eh? An 8800GTX seems mighty hard to top....Athough nothing beats the convenience of a gaming system in your living room:) I'm running an athlon xp with 1gig ram, and a 9800 pro, and its having trouble running most of the newer games at decent settings...obviously...

Awesome, I think I am going to pick one up this friday. I'm a pretty big fan of WW 2 games, so I'm thinking about picking up Call of Duty 3, but then I hear MOH: Airborne, and Brother's in Arms: Hell's highway are coming out, so I might just wait for those and get something else until than...

rbarr110, how do the Xbox 360's visuals look compared to your PC...I'm thinking of getting one myself because I can't afford a new computer at this point, but want to play some of the upcoming releases.

Found the answer here, looks like you can use the xbox 360 at your lcd's native resolution: http://hardware.teamxbox.com/reviews/xbox-360/40/Xbox-360-VGA-HD-AV-Cable/p2/

Cool, ok. Will it support my native resolution though? Thanks

Hey, I was just wondering the best way to go about hooking up an xbox 360 to a PC monitor? I am using a 19" DVI lcd with 1280x1024. Anyone have any experience with these?: http://www.x2vga.com/ Thanks

I'm not a heavy gamer, but the games I would like to play take a decent system to run. I think I am just going to get a new processor and video card. I've really been out of it for a couple of years....Is intel duo the way to go atm? Also, any big differences performance wise between sli and...

Perhaps he likes using his speakers with the game, but doesn't want everyone to hear the corney swearing along with it. If you guys want a full dose of realism....go to boot camp....I'm sure there will be a lot of swearing there.

Ok awesome, that gives me a better understanding of how it will run. I'm thinking I might get an Nvidia 7800GT or GS...can't decide though.... thanks edit: I didn't see the two above posts. Your right I need to upgrade, and I am planning to get a new system, but do you think a 7800GT or...

I running an Athlon 2500+ with a gig of ram, and a Radeon 9800 pro. It play's half life 2 fine with settings maxed at 1280x1024. Can anyone tell me how hard COD 2 is to run compared to Half Life 2? I was considering getting it, but I am not sure my system can run it as good as it does Half Life...

I wonder how the SR 60/80 compare with the HD555's.

for use with games and movies, I would just keep those floorstanders, but if for some reason you start listening to music on your speakers....the studio monitors will sound a bit more refined.

Studio monitors are flat, nothing is emphesized unless you emphezise it yourself with software.

I started playing diablo 2 a couple days ago, and when I quite a game, it kicked me off of bnet. Now every time I log on to USWest, it says that my connection has been temorarily restricted, please log in at another time. While its been a whole day since then, and it still says the same thing...
